I'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) in other than Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I want to perform i'tikaf in other than Ramadan. Does that suffice, Honorable Shaykh, on days such as the virtuous Monday and Thursday, in the house or in the mosque?
Answer:
I'tikaf does not have a specific time from the Sunnah, but it is better in Ramadan. Otherwise, it is permissible to perform i'tikaf in other than Ramadan. It consists of staying in the mosque for the obedience of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
